HP 6263B, my new bench power supply

[cy]

HP 6263B, my new bench power supply. 0-20V @ 0-10amps. got a host of operating modes & features yet to be figured out.

anyone used one of these before?

from manual:

Battery charging

The automatic crossover between constant-voltage and constant current exhibit by these supplies make them ideal for battery charging applications

Interesting, I wonder how it decides when to switch. I've never seen an auto function before.

Are those 5C collets in that rack?

 

[cy]

according to instruction, it switches when it reaches the preset current and/or voltage.

yes that's a set of 5C collets. I use those to open up lights without damage.

a friend of mine gave me a sorensen 60 - 18b

0 to 60 volt 18 amp dc power supply

it works great(coarse volts pot needs replacing) but it is too big and heavy

but free is a good price

it came in its original hard case

95 pounds including case

I wish I had the manual to my sorensen 60 - 18b
it has a red light by each meter
I think that they are over voltage and over current indicators.

or constant current/voltage status indicators of some sort.
